Portrait Paintings on Film Negatives by Nick Gentry

SHARE:

New series of paintings on 35mm film negatives and x-ray prints by British artist Nick Gentry. As part of a generation who grew up surrounded by floppy disks, VHS tapes, polaroids, and cassettes, Nick continues to repurpose obsolete media formats placing an emphasis on their reuse as a central theme. His work is influenced by the development of consumerism, technology, and cyberculture while making a comment on waste culture, identity, and the life cycles of manufactured products.

These objects are no longer in the spotlight but by placing them there for a second it becomes easier to comprehend the speed and extent of the changes that are taking place today.
